HENRY II. HOLDN, OFPORT I-IURON, MICHIGAN.

STOVE.

i srncrricnrroiv forming part of Letters Patent No. 693,862, dated February 25, 190e.

Application filed March 12, 1901. Serial No. 50,831. (No model.)

To @ZZ whom t may concern:

` Be it known that I, HENRY H. HoLDEN,'a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Port Huron, in the county of St. Clair and State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Stoves, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.

This invention relates to stoves and furnaces, and particularly to that class known as magazine-stoves.

The object of the invention is to produce a stove in which the magazine is dividedl into compartments with means for controlling the draft therethrough.

A further object of the invention is to provide novel means for conveying the gas and products of combustion which may rise in the magazine to the tire-bed, and,furthermore,for retarding the combustion on one side of the magazine.

The invention consists in the details of construction and in the arrangement and combination of parts to be hereinafter more fully set forth and claimed.

In describing the invention in detail reference will be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this speciiication, wherein like characters denote corresponding parts in the views, and in Which Figure 1 is a sectional view of a stove, showing the magazine in elevation with parts broken away. Fig. 2 is a top plan view,partly in section. Fig. 3 is a perspective View of a fragment of the magazine.

In the drawings, 1 denotes the base, 2 the casing, 3 the top, and 4 the smoke-uptake, of a stove, all of any ordinary construction, which may not therefore be described in detail.

The products of combustion of the coal in theV iire-box will find their way to the smoke-uptake 4 in the usual way, while the gas generated in the magazine will pass off through the casing 13, coursing downward to the iire-box, where it is consumed or carried to the smokeuptake. The magazine comprises a cylindrical body 5, provided with a channel 6. The inner walls of the meeting edges of the body are also provided with channels 7. A central partition 5fL has its edges embeddedV in thechannels 6 and 7 and is clamped therein by the screws or rivetsS in the apertures of the lugs 9.- A shoulder 10 is formed in the inner wall of the magazine near the top, and a semicircular shutter 11 is slidable thereon. pivotal pin 12 is run through the edge of the shutter and has its end embedded in the upper end of the partition.

From an inspection 'of Fig. 3 it will be seen that the compartment in either side of the partition may be closed by swinging the edge of the shutter parallel with the partition. y

A casing 13 is secured on the outer wall of the magazine, forming a hotair passage closed at the top and open at the bottom, and a hole 14 is cutin thebody of the magazine, by which the magazine above the shutter communicates with the passage. The products of combustion and the gas generated by the heat which often collects above the coal will be carried off through the hole 14 in the direction of the arrow, Fig. 1, down the air-passag to the fire-bed.

Lugs 15 are formed on the body, and the magazine is suspended in the stove thereby.

In using the invention for burning soft coal the compartments of the magazine may be filled, and when 'the shutter is adjusted to close the top of the compartment the gases and products'areconiined and combustion in the closed compartment is retarded. The coal is more readily consumed, owing to the draft through the magazine and the passage in the casing, and thepassage in the casing also conveys the products of combustion coli lecting at the top of the magazine to the'iire pot, where they are consumed. l

In case it is decided to have the coal in both compartments consumed with the same ra pidity the shutter may be set in the position shown in Fig. 3. e

The construction, operation, and advantages will, it is thought, be understood from the foregoing description, and it is lnoted that various changes in the proportions and de tails of vconstruction may be resorted to for successfully carrying the invention into prac` tice.

Having thus fully described the invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by' Letters Patent, is
